  • Patent number: 9129573
    Abstract: An image display system and method. A pixel of the system has a latch circuit and a display circuit. According to a scan line signal, the latch circuit receives and temporarily stores a data line signal. The display circuit works according to a reset signal and a set signal. According to the reset signal, the display circuit resets a voltage level of a control terminal of liquid crystal materials of the pixel. According to the set signal, the display circuit receives the data line signal stored in the latch circuit, to adjust the control terminal of the liquid crystal materials and thereby the liquid crystal materials are rotated and the expected image of the pixel is displayed accordingly. The active interval of the reset signal is arranged after a last scan line signal is disabled and prior to the enabling of the set signal.
